The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

The former smashed the taxi window, while the latter accurately struck Shibata Kyoko's neck. The rapid-acting anesthetic made her completely lose consciousness within seconds, and the knife in her hand unconsciously slipped from her grasp, landing on the taxi driver's thigh.

Fortunately, it's December, and the driver had already put on long johns, so the suddenly falling knife couldn't pierce through them.

At the same time that the other party was anesthetized, Jiang Hang also received the other party's memories as always.

Just as he had predicted, Kyoko Shibata lost all of the family's savings because her husband kept gambling away money.

This year it went even further.

They kept taking things out of the house to exchange for money, not only trying to pawn the gifts their parents gave them when they got married, but even threatening the elderly people's pensions.

Under such circumstances, Kyoko Shibata, in despair, conceived the idea of ​​killing her husband.

She originally wanted to create an alibi to exonerate herself from the murder.

But who could have imagined that her attack, instead of killing her husband on the spot, would instead bring him back to consciousness for a moment before he died?

What she didn't expect was that she had planned to further disguise the situation at home when she returned, but the unexpected arrival of Jiang Hang and his group disrupted her entire plan.

Ultimately, he was worried that his actions would be discovered, especially after receiving two calls from the police, which intensified his anxiety. He eventually got into a taxi and prepared to escape.

She knew that with only a few tens of thousands of yen on her, she wouldn't be able to escape for long.

But she had also prepared for the worst, which was to commit suicide when the police caught up with her and she had nowhere to escape.

Sensing the memories surging in his mind, Jiang Hang couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Does someone have the guts to kill someone but not the guts to file for divorce?

Perhaps this is also a form of mental constraint imposed on the other party.

Thinking this, Jiang Hang looked at Yokomizo Kengo, who was breathing a sigh of relief, and gave him a reminder.

"This suspect is very emotionally unstable. You'd better be careful that she doesn't harm herself in the detention center."

At this point, Yokomizo Sango trusted Jiang Hang's words quite a bit, and Shibata Kyoko's final expression did indeed seem somewhat abnormal.

"We really owe this case to you. Otherwise, if she had escaped, we don't know how much effort our police force would have had to put in to bring her back."

Especially since this area is quite close to the port, if the other party manages to find a way to smuggle themselves out before the police can find them, then there will be no way to bring them back.

"So what's the plan now? Should we take her back to your police headquarters first, or wait here for the other officers from your headquarters to arrive?"

Jiang Hang asked Heng Gou Canwu a question.

Yokomizo Sango looked at the driver, whose face had finally regained some color, and sighed.

"Since this taxi driver is involved, let's call a few more people over to record the situation at the scene."

"Fortunately, the two cars did not collide in the end, so we can write one less explanation after this case is over."

However, the tires probably need to be replaced. After being drifted around corners by Jiang Hang all the way, they must be worn out quite a bit.

As Yokomizo Sango said this, he could still recall the 180-degree drift that Jiang Hang forced the taxi to stop at the last moment.

It is dangerous, really dangerous.

But looking back, he really was quite handsome.

Sensing that his idea was somewhat dangerous, Yokomizo Sango quickly shook his head, realizing that he needed to be more careful when driving in the future.

About half an hour later, police backup arrived at the scene, took the suspect, who was still unconscious, back to the police station, and then investigated the situation at the crime scene.

At this point, the case is considered closed.

On the drive back, Jiang Hang sat comfortably in the passenger seat, watching Yokomizo Sango drive slowly back to Shibata Shiro's apartment building at a safe speed.

It only took 13 minutes to drive there, but almost an hour to drive back.

By the time they arrived at the apartment building, it was already past 7 p.m.

Even though it was completely dark, Jiang Hang recognized an old acquaintance who was hiding on one side of the apartment building as soon as he got out of the car.

"Hattori, are you here to pick up your mother?" Jiang Hang went up to him and grabbed him, asking him the question.

Chapter 510: Chapter 506: A SOS Message from Mermaid Island

When Hattori Heiji spotted Jiang Hang, he initially wanted to disguise himself.

But he also knew that his disguise was meaningless to Jiang Hang.

So after hearing Jiang Hang's shout, he hesitated for a moment, but still pulled He Ye, who had come out with him, to come out and greet Jiang Hang.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. What were you saying just now? I don't think I heard you clearly," Hattori Heiji chuckled dryly, trying to pretend it was all just a chance encounter.

After all, he knew that his mother had asked Jiang Hang to conduct a test, and he was too embarrassed to tell Jiang Hang that he had come along because he was worried that something might happen to his mother.

Moreover, he has not yet met his mother, and does not know whether her identity has been exposed.

Upon arriving, he only knew that a murder had apparently occurred in the apartment building, and the police were currently searching for the suspect.

He was just about to reveal his identity and take a look when Jiang Hang returned.

Judging from their appearance, the perpetrator in this case should have already been arrested.

But considering Jiang Hang's consistently fast crime-solving speed, this level of efficiency doesn't seem particularly noteworthy.

Seeing Hattori Heiji's stammering expression, Jiang Hang was too lazy to pretend anymore.

"Although I didn't meet your mother when I traveled to Osaka before, you don't really think I know nothing about your family, do you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Hattori Heiji knew that the other party had probably already seen through his mother's identity and had just been playing along.

"So my mother already knows she's been exposed?" He shook his head dejectedly.

He never expected his mother to be able to fool Jiang Hang, but Jiang Hang probably wouldn't recognize her either, so his appearance should surprise Jiang Hang a bit.

Who knew that her mother's true identity would be completely exposed the moment she appeared!

Jiang Hang simply shrugged slightly in response.

"It seems that your reasoning talent is entirely inherited from your father, but I don't know if your mother has taken away even a little bit of it."

“Actually, even without me, Shizuka had already discovered that your mother’s identity was questionable by some loopholes in her words when she was talking to her, and she even reminded me of this.”

Hattori Heiji covered his eyes, somewhat embarrassed, as if he was too ashamed to face Jiang Hang.

"Alright, you should go upstairs and meet your mother. If you feel awkward, I'll go up later."

Jiang Hang waved to Hattori Heiji, signaling him to hurry up and take his mother away.

With the Osaka police superintendent's wife and son identifying themselves, Hattori Shizuka should be able to retrieve her middle school photos relatively easily.

He wasn't particularly interested in those things; all he was thinking about was where to have dinner later, and since he'd already made it this far, should he just spend another day sightseeing before heading back to Tokyo?

With that in mind, he simply asked the people next to him for recommendations on good restaurants nearby.

He hadn't received any big jobs in the past few days, but today, it seems like one thing after another has appeared in front of him.

He waited downstairs for about five or six minutes, wondering if he should go up, when Yuno Kiharu called him.

"Hey, Yuno, I'm in Shizuoka Prefecture right now. There was a case that happened, so I was delayed here for a few hours. I probably won't be back today. You can just go home when the time comes." Jiang Hang briefly explained his current situation to Yuno Kiharu.

Upon hearing that another murder had occurred in Jianghang, Muchun Yuno gasped softly before quickly explaining that it wasn't related to that.

"I just received a very strange letter of commission. It feels somewhat similar to the Moon Shadow Island case we handled before, so I thought I'd call to ask for your opinion, Jiang Hang."

"A case similar to Moonshadow Island?" Jiang Hang perked up. "Tell me the details."

Moon Shadow Island is one of the few five-star cases in his detective career so far.

For some reason, the big explosions and similar events that are common in Conan movies haven't really happened yet, so he hasn't had a chance to use his bomb disposal skills much.

After hearing the details from Yoshino Kiharu on the other end of the phone, Jiang Hang frowned slightly.

A distress message from Mermaid Island?

The SOS letter that Yoshino received was very simple.

The text above consists of only a few lines.

"I'm going to be killed by the mermaid, please save me."

Below is that person's name and contact information.

Kadowaki Saori sent the letter to an island located off Wakasa Bay in northwestern Fukui Prefecture.

"I did some research on that island and found that it has many names: American Island, Mermaid Island, Dugong Island. There aren't many people on the island, but because of the legend of mermaids, quite a few tourists have visited it in recent years. It's considered a popular travel destination online."

Listening to Yoshino Kino's explanation, Jiang Hang couldn't help but ponder.

He seemed to have some recollection of this case before he traveled through time.

However, he only remembered that the murderer seemed to be a young girl who had been pretending to be his centenarian grandmother. As for why she became the murderer, he didn't have much of an impression.

"I understand. I'll take this case. Have you contacted the client yet?"

"After receiving the letter, I called the other party to inquire about the situation, but they hung up immediately, and I couldn't get through when I called back."

It seems the person who sent the distress signal has already been killed.

Jiang Hang sighed inwardly, then said to Muchun Yuno, "In that case, take a picture of that SOS letter and send it to me later. By the way, do you want to come with us to Mermaid Island tomorrow?"

Koharu Yuno was quite pleased to hear Jiang Hang's invitation over the phone.

She had thought that Jiang Hang would be going out with Shizuka Sakaki this time, leaving her to stay at the office and answer phone calls. She hadn't expected that Jiang Hang would still remember her at this time.

However, she still asked rather reservedly, "What if other clients come knocking on the door at this time?"

"Then let them go find Kogoro Mouri. Anyway, Conan is about to be discharged from the hospital, and the Mouri Detective Agency should get back to work."

"Oh, I'll contact Nanatsuko Koshimizu later. You just need to take care of things at the agency."

Is there any necessary connection between Conan's discharge from the hospital and the Mouri Detective Agency becoming busy?

How could she not know that the sleeping Kogoro cared so much about the little boy who often visited their office?

Yoshino Koharu wondered to herself.

However, she still acted as Jiang Hang instructed, leaving a message on the agency's voicemail: "The entire staff of Pioneer Detective Agency is currently out of town and unable to accept any more cases. For urgent cases, please contact the detective agency of another famous detective, Kogoro Mouri, personally recommended by our detective Jiang Hang. The contact information is..."

After hanging up with Yoshino Koharu, Jiang Hang thought for a moment and, in addition to Nanatsuki Koshimizu, also contacted Shiho Miyano.

After all, the other person seemed to have always been quite interested in reasoning, and if we didn't call on her, she would probably be petty for a while after she found out.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki isn't very interested in this case. She plans to go back to her hometown during the Lunar New Year and consolidate her career there, so she's been making preparations.
